@Tyki_Mikk @Reborn brazil last eliminations...

Brazil loses to France in 2006
Brazil loses to Netherlands in 2010
Brazil loses to Germany in 2014
Brazil loses to Belgium in 2018
Brazil loses to Croatia in 2022
Brazil loses to Norway in 2026

Which European will be the next to eliminate Brazil in 2030? Lol
Well I don't care much about Brazil. I am neutral towards them.

But this WC I wanted them in semis (due to kicktipp as I forgot about England while I was submitting semis predictions)

Brazil defeated Brazil in this WC imo
 
I think I said this a few days before the tournament started but here it goes again:
Brazil today is just a legacy team - they coast on their previous accolades but are bang average in all aspects.
They have 1 or 2 star players in a 26 man squad, 6-7 (heh) great players and the rest is filled up with players of passable quality.
Comparing this squad with the 2014 squad (as an example of a great pound for pound squad) would show how much they have declined just over the last decade.
But even the 2014 squad was average compared to the 2006 and 2002 squads, going by name value and match impact of the players.

Brazil is the meme era Man United of national teams.
 
They had decent number of chances to score but they fumbled it. You can argue they were simply not good enough and yeah it could be the reason.
You're right, Ancelotti's mistakes cost them the match.

There was no reason to bring on Endrick or Neymar so early.

Cunha,Rayan and Martinelli were playing a very good game, there was no reason to change them (unless they were tired).

Even 2022 Brazil wasn't that bad as they are now. Bruh imagine getting eliminated in eight finals lol.

This new Brazil gen is terrible to the point people needing to glaze Matheus Cunha, Guimarães and Martineli lol. These dudes are nobody in football and will always be remembered for this elimination.

Next WC is in Portugal (among other countries), so if he is still scoring goals in subtier championships, he might make a comeback just for it. Especially if Portugal doesn't do well next Euro.
I think it's nothing to do with Ronaldo Individual performance outside the WC but more to do with team future prospects. Portugal needs to come out of Ronaldo's shadow and build team around next gen.
